TL;DR: I Am My Language as mentioned in this paper explores language practices and discourse patterns of Mexican-origin mothers and the language socialization of their children and shows how the unique discourses that result from the interplay of two cultures shape perceptions of self and community, and how they influence how children learn and families engage with their children's schools.
Abstract: "I am my language," says the poet Gloria Anzaldua, because language is at the heart of who we are. But what happens when a person has more than one language? Is there an overlay of language on identity, and do we shift identities as we shift languages? More important, what identities do children construct for themselves when they use different languages in particular ways? In this book, Norma Gonzalez uses language as a window on the multiple levels of identity construction in children as well as on the complexities of life in the borderlands to explore language practices and discourse patterns of Mexican-origin mothers and the language socialization of their children. She shows how the unique discourses that result from the interplay of two cultures shape perceptions of self and community, and how they influence the ways in which children learn and families engage with their children's schools. Gonzalez demonstrates that the physical presence of the border profoundly affects the practices and ideologies of Mexican-origin women and children. She then argues that language and cultural background should be used as a basis for building academic competencies, and she demonstrates why the evocative/emotive dimension of language should play a major part in studies of discourse, language socialization, and language ideology. Drawing on women's own narratives of their experiences as both mothers and borderland residents, I Am My Language is firmly rooted in the words of common people in their everyday lives. It combines personal odyssey with cutting-edge ethnographic research, allowing us to hear voices that have been muted in the academic and public policy discussions of "what it means to be Latina/o" and showing us new ways to connect language to complex issues of education, political economy, and social identity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a post-modern feminist analysis of interview and observation data collected at a Women's Social Service Organization (WSSO)•a social service organization designed to assist low-income, single parents in obtaining education and job training to support their families independently of welfare.
Abstract: This article presents the results of a postmodern feminist analysis of interview and observation data collected at a Women's Social Service Organization (WSSO)‐a social service organization designed to assist low‐income, single parents in obtaining education and job training to support their families independently of welfare. Many authors (e.g., Ferguson, 1984; Fraser, 1989) argue that clients in human service organizations, like WSSO, are often positioned by organizational discourse as passive, deficient, and depoliticized recipients of predefined services. Clients, however, are rarely completely passive; their marginal voices resist dominant organizational discourses in a plurality of ways. In the spirit of Foucault's (1978, 1979, 1980) genealogy, this study aimed to give voice to the submerged voices of clients in a human service organization and to locate and learn from their struggles against power. More specifically, it articulates the local, immediate, and fragmentary forms of client resistance at ...
